Special TtiCGrGm 10 The Register.
PAREERsBURG, July l4.-This has been
gala day for our German citizens. Prep
arations have been in progress for some
time, and the event has been one Of more
than ordinary interest. All the morning
parties were arriving from various parts of
the county.
At one o'clock the beautiful flag presen-
tation took place at Germania Hall. An
appropriate Introductory address, in Ger
man, was made by Capt. A. H. Lang, re-
Gently Republican candidate for the
Legislature. Miss Celia Nelly, daugh-
ter of one Of our most prominent
merchants and citizens, presented
the flag in few choice sentences delivered
in most graceful and becoming manner
After a national anthem the speech of ac-
ceptance was made by II. HOFFMAN, Esq.
A parade was then formed which, despite
the heat, was of excellent proportions. 1t
marched up and down the leading streets
and thence to the wharfboat, where the
little picnic steamer K. E. Phillips was in
waiting to convey the members of the Ger
mania Society and invited guests to Blen-
nerhassett Island, where the afternoon was
spent.
A little girl named Beeson, whose moth
er resides near here fell iromthe top of q
fence Yesterday afternoon, alighting upon
the teeth 0 an iron rake. Five prongs
penetrated her flesh to the bone. Her
mother came out to her rescue and was
compelled to put her foot on the rake be-
fore she could draw it out. The child is
fatally hurt. A child of George Saver,
near here on the Ohio side, last night acci-
dentally poured pot OF boiling coffee over
itself while partially undressed, scalding
itself so badly that il soon died.
Some days ago operation were resumed
on the Laurel Fork and SAND Hill railroad
recently abandoned by the West Virginia
Transportation Company. To-day oil
shipments by this route were resumed,
several tank cars being brought here from
Volcano. For two years oil has been con-
veyed by pipe liue.
The grand jury of the Circnit Court rose
to-day after finding 81 indictments. Near
ly every saloon keeper in this city was in
dicted for illegal selling Charles Sargent
was indicted for murder. Samuel Mar
shall, indicted for rape, will be tried next
term. Rev. Nicholas Casio, of Jackson
county, on trial in the U. S. Court for yio-
lation OF the internal revenue law, was
acquitted. The Wheeling election cases
will soon be called.
A workman in the brick yard here was
overcome with the heat to-day. 1t was al
most a fatal case. The mercury is away
up in the nineties.

The eyicted families were taken in by some
of their more fortunate neighbors.
A dispatch from Uniontown, Pa, special

WORCESTER, MASS, July 14.-Teemer,
Hamm, Lee, was the order of the finish in
the final heat Of the single scull race to-
day. The high wind made rough water
and the time was slow. In the final heat
Teemer held the west course and was shell
tered from the wind. Hamm was in the
centre, and Lee had the east side of the
lake. The races to-day were four miles.
When word was given, Teemer and Hamm

five strokes q minute, kept con-
stantly behind Teemer, who was
pulling 81, and was creeping away from

wonder what was to pay. Hamm passed
him and then the ex-champion squared

end of third of a mile and passed him at

The X, 4 o. Deal.

NEW YORK, July IA Wall street
circular says THE reports on the Baltl-
more and Ohio negotiations continue very
conflicting, but several OF the details are
being Strengthened out and prospects are
favorable for general clearing up Of CON-
plications. The trouble is mainly due to
the fact that if the property is not trans
ferred as at first intended the deferred pay
ment of SO, 900, 600 will be alien upon the
whole system and purchasers Of any OF the
different parts could not obtain a clean
title. To obyiate this it is supposed that
a transfer of telegraph lines shall first be
made direct from the B. & o. syndicate
for s., 500, 900 and that amount deducted
from the first payment of Sc, 0OO, 600, and
il was said on Wall street to-day that the
formal business of the $500, 900 was
made by Drexel, Morgan & Co., on behalf
of a syndicate"

THE BAKER MURDER TRIAL.
What the Up-River Papers are Saying
About the Case.

What the Up-River Papers are saytng
About the Case.
The Upper-Pan-Handle papers, - the
time set for the Baker murder trial 70 be-
gin approaches, are filling up with facts
having a more or less remote bearing upon
the case. The Toronto Tribune says
1t will be remembered that Baker stated
that he expected to be free man on the
4th, and that he mentioned having an i'm
portant engagement on that day. On Mon
day the 11th lady from the west, appear
ed at the Cove looking for Baker. She had
written him several times lately, she said,
but got no reply, and 50 she came on to
see why it was thus, as they were engaged
to be mai ried, the wedding to take place
on the 4th of July at her home. This Is
considered another strong point against
Baker, and the authorities have held
the woman to appear at the trial as .
witness. We are unable to learn her name.
A Mrs. Young, who resides in
Holidays Cove, WAS in town the other
day and expressed herself as thoroughly
satisfied of Bakers guilt Of the dual muir
de. Mrs. Young's little girl had always
taken the mail TOR Mrs. McWha and Mrs.
Baker to their house, but on the afternoon
of the tragedy, Baker, as he was going to
the train to leave, stopped to tell the little
girl that she need not get the mail that
afternoon, that he would get it. After the
train had gone the girl was handed letter
for Mrs. Baker by the postmaster, but she
refused to take it, as ordered by Baker.
Mrs. Young thinks Baker thus ordered the
girl to keep her from going to the house
aud finding the two women whom be had
murdered.
The Hancock county Courier says -
A picked up Grand Juryman on the
Baker case, 80 we understand, says there
was not sufficient evidence TO indict Baker,
but that he was indicted because the peo-
pie demanded it. An elegant jurymsn

which it may he possible to employ for

HARRISBURG, PA, July IA. - The
Knights of Labor here who participated in
the late convention of iron and steel work
ers, to form national assembly of these
tradesmen, are very indignant at the nom
arrival of their charter, and one of the
committee appointed to ask for it says if it
is not granted $4,000 Knights will leave
the order and join the Amalgamated Asso-
citation of Iron and Steel Workers. This
gentleman said to-day:
National assemblies, such as the one
we have formed, will take considerable
power from Litchman, inasmuch as we
settle all trade disputes without inter
ference from the Executive Board of the
Knights of Labor, and further than this,
Litchman is more directly interested.
Here is an instance: d. A. No. 80, Of
Massachusetts,, is composed Of IS, 600 men,
bers. This assembly supported Litchman
for Secretary. OF the IS, 900 about 10000
are shoemakers, who are contemplating
the formation of national assembly such
as ours. Litchman is opposed to this di-
vision Of that assembly, for fear hereafter
that he will not be so influential. This is
the reason he objects to granting US char
ter, thinking it would encourage Others. ]"
